It’s much grosser than anything I’d normally write, haha. Thanks! I’m in the spirit early this year. 🎃🍂

Now that I’m thinking about it…I don’t know if “grosser” is a word. Let me edit my previous post by saying “It’s more gruesome than…” haha. My OCD is kicking in full force right now!

You sent me down a rabbit hole with this one Justin. I am up with insomnia and decided to catch up on some newsletter stories. So far, I haven't got past yours. I started researching body decomposition. Here's an interesting article on body farms. https://askinglot.com/open-detail/462289

Thanks for a great story and giving me something interesting to occupy me while I can't sleep!

Oh no! Sorry to hear about the insomnia and lack of sleep. What a great find; thank you so much for sharing the resource (as horrid and repulsive as it is, haha). I wish I had this resource prior to writing the story! If I ever revise this one I’ll probably use the research you dug up. Thanks again, Dascha! (Hope you get some more sleep tonight!)
